Pete Fine To the Day of Crystal's Thoughts [Limited Edition] [Paper Jacket] Japa

Product Description
Contents Introduction First-press limited edition paper jacket packaging Rich psychedelic folk released from the early 70s NYC underground scene! A fantastical and ethereal sound world played by Pete Fine, who led the legendary psychedelic hard rock band, The Flow, in his solo work! The original LP pressed in 1974 was a rare record limited to 100 copies, and it is finally revived in a new form! A free spirit unleashed from the New York underground. In 1974, there was a man who embarked on a musical adventure. Pete Fine formed his own band, The Flow. Their only album, "The Flow's Greatest Hits" (1972), with its unique sound blending heavy psychedelic rock with a trippy feel and unconventional artistic sensibility, has garnered a cult following as "the East Coast's answer to blue cheer," and has been cherished as a cult classic, even receiving a Japanese CD release in 2023. However, one day, Pete was inspired by Bruckner's Symphony No. 8 playing on the radio and decided to write orchestral music himself. After numerous visits to Lincoln Center, a comprehensive arts complex in New York, he taught himself to read and write orchestral scores and compose music, and his musical vision was realized in "Crystal of Thought." Centered around Pete's 12-string acoustic guitar, and featuring strings, flute, French horn, and trumpet, this experimental approach to orchestral music is thrilling. The progressive development of "Revelation ~ Overture ~ To Sam" and the performance reminiscent of acid pagan folk soar from the present world into another dimension. On the other hand, a new version of "Meditation," a number from The Flow's era (the album's original title, On A Day Of Crystalline Thought, is taken from these lyrics), and "Bijinks," an evolution of The Flow's "Bijinks," also features Pete's skills as an electric guitarist on "Life" and "Bijinks," demonstrating that he has inherited The Flow's harder side. After this album, Pete would build his own unique musical style that fuses guitar and symphonies, and it is an important work as a major turning point in his career. This album was pressed as a limited edition of 100 LPs in 1974, but hardly any of them made it to stores and were discarded when Pete moved out of New York (he moved around a lot before settling in Tucson, Arizona). Therefore, it is said to be a "legendary" album that even avid psychedelic collectors have never heard. In 2000, it was reissued by the German rare psychedelic label "Shadox," and its name suddenly became widely known. This reissue is the first time it has been released in Japan. With remastered sound sources and a paper sleeve CD, it is attracting a lot of attention from fans around the world.
